I had a member of this board come look at my truck, asked me if I minded if he pulled a few things to look at the turbo, look at this, look at that. He brought his brother in law mechanic with him.

I had nothing to hide, I said feel free, It wasn't major surgery, what's the big deal? After looking at those things he offered a trade (a fair one that I just couldn't make happen). No harm, no foul.

I learned the hard way on this, i always do the work myself until someone pays me for it. It's only happened once but the guy showed up, broke my shit, then backed out on the deal. I fucked up and let him fukc with it instead of doing it myself. Yes it was a member of this board, shit happens. I'll never do that again, big mistake on my part.

If it was major surgery I wouldn't have let him. But it was minor shit and I knew the member well enough to go for it. But I hear what you're saying...popping a different cover shouldn't end up in broken shit lol

I have delt with Randy a few times, he is very knowledgeable about Jeeps and I have bought a few things from him. I have never had an issue and he has always helped me out with questions I had. However, I sent a friend to him for a 4 banger yj motor and he said it was a good motor, and turns out it was junk after my buddy got it running. He never returned his calls about the motor either last I new, so I stopped dealing with him.

I am waiting for "Sandmaster" to write me back he sent me a message last night asking how we can resolve this. My hope is he will make this right and show the forum that this is not how he does business.

May be a little late. He lied to you why would he not lie to someone else? I bought a set of rims from him years ago and everything went smooth, he "seemed" like a very trustworthy/knowledgeable guy to be taken at his word so I understand you trusting him. Hope things work out for you.

he can resolve this by giving you your money back.
that axle has little to no value in that condition.

why did you not verify what you were buying when you were at his house picking it up? At the very least it seems you would have noticed that he had not in fact popped the diff cover to verify the locker like you indicate in your first post. Why didn't you pop the cover when you were there?

This doesn't take away from him misrepresenting, or from him not returning calls, but you picked it up in person, you had every opportunity to make sure and verify you were getting what you were getting.
